Fig. 1TB. Two itylca of Ubowettea

case is only a shelf held by screws, some of whidi are in end grain.

Of course any form may be criticised. The mott beautiful of all, the Turkish or Moorish, on accomit of its overhanging top and small base, is the mott easily upset, and in designing new forms all these ^ points must be considered.

TABOURETTE NUMBER FOUB

This is an ideal example of the mission type taken from Mr. Fred D. Cranshaw's book, "Problems in Furniture Making." It ealls for forty mortise and tenon joints, and as it is usually made in oak, it requires considerable time for laying out as weB as for cutting.

Twenty-four of these joints can be dispensed with by panelling the sides in place of the lattice wort By hinging the top and putting in a bottom, the tabourette becomes a ladies' work box, a shoe box, etc.

In a project of this kind it is absolutely necessaiy to work systematically. Letter or number each part Mark the legs a b c dy and proceed to work in pairs. After squaring up all the pieces, take side a 6. Lay out the four joints on a and b which are to face each other, finish these ready for assembling, lay aside

^F THE TABOURETTE

^^Fd, and lay out 6 c, etc. When you have finished all I lour sides around to the starting point, stand Ihe iH four legs up in the posltion they are to occupy and ^B check up the work to see if any mistake has been ^H Bade. Treat the cross bars in the same way, marking ■^ the tenons al,a2,61,62, etc. When you have

gölten around the second time, assemble the whole

thing and look again for errors. Take apart and lay out mortises in cross pieces

by pairs. Fasten 1 and 2 together in the vise with

the edges which are to face each other up as shown

in Fig. 177. Square the Hnes across both pieces, remove from

Tise and gauge the horizontal edges of mortises with

marking gauge. Ü To avoid confusion and for change of work, cut 4. out these mortises before laying out the next set,

and so for the third time work around to the starting

point. A fourth trip around, making and fitting the

upright slats, and the tabourette is ready to assemble.

By using liquid glue, which hardens slowly, the whole

rtructure can be put together, fastened with large

band screws or clamps, and left over night to dry. While the glue is setting, measure carefully for

the top, to see if there is any Variation from dimen- ■

sions ou drawing, and cut out the top piece. By this time, the amateur woodworker will have more re-spect for the mission style than ever, and will appre-ciate the difficulty of reaching simpHcity.

The best method of securing the top is with small angle irons fastened to it and cross pieces on the inside. Invert the tabourette, after screwing the angles to the cross pieces, and with the top on the floor, drive home the last foiir screws.

No; it is not finished! There remains the polia^ ing.
